Verizon claims that net neutrality violates their First and Fifth Amendment rights

In a major shift in legal strategy, Verizon is no longer merely arguing that the FCC lacks a mandate to regulate network neutrality, but that any such law would be a violation of their Constitutional rights...

That's great but VZW is trying to tell you HOW you can use your device. Even if it's the best network I know how my phone works, what I can do with it and I won't stand for a carrier telling me HOW I can use my data.

67-69 Camaro/Firebird, 68-79 Nova (& clones) will bolt to your springs. Watch out for the weak 7.5" rear ends used behind 75-79 6-cylinders & a few 305's. The 8.5's are best, but if the one you have now is not an 8.5, your driveshaft may be an inch or so too long. Here's some ID info:
www.novaresource.org/axle.htm |
The 8.5" matching the Nova should be hard to find. Wasn´t most of them 8.2"?
When I had my 69 camaro, someone told me that a 68 cougar 9" would be a bolt in deal since the spring seats were close to the same (only had to pull em over 1/8" to get the bolt, so I was told)and the were the same length. Since the 69 camaro will bolt in, then I'm guessing that the cougar would be the same. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I was told by someone who had the set up in their camaro.
my car has a 6 cylnder but the bolts on my rear end look diffrent than the 7.5 rear ends? would the others you mentioned have posi? because i have seen many nova's my year without it but thanks for everyones help i wil be on the lookout
Posi was not a real popular option in Novas, but Camaro & Firebird performance models were commonly ordered with it. Problem is, the '70 & newer Camaro/Firebird rear ends won't fit in a Nova (too wide). The guts (posi carrier, etc.) will fit as long as the gear/housing size is the same. A '70-'81 Camaro/Firebird will have an 8.5" rear end, and if you have an 8.5" Nova rear end, the posi unit (if it has one) and gears from the Camaro rear will fit into the Nova housing. The new parts must be installed by someone who has the specialized tools & knowledge that are required. The 3rd gen Camaros usually used the 7.5" rear, but I wouldn't use a 7.5 because they are weak. They only used them in 305 Novas for one year, then they returned to the 8.5. Here's some more half-fast photos. Notice the protrusions at 5:00 & 7:00 positions that differentiate the 8.5" & 7.5" housings.
http://malibunorth.freeservers.com/RearID.html |
thanks for the advice and the pictures they helped a lot but i was looking at my rear end today and i think it is the 8.5 because the cover and the bolts look totally different from the 7.5 and look identical to the 8.5 but once again thanks for your help

WINDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- One man has been arrested on drunk driving charges after a hit and run in Windham early Sunday morning.
Around quarter to one, a Windham police officer says he watched a pick-up truck hit two pedestrians on Tandberg Trail near the Sand Bar Road. The truck then took off.
The officer who witnessed the crash helped the victims while another officer chased down the truck.
Police arrested 30-year old Richard Tarvers and charged him OUI, though the results of his blood alcohol test are still pending.
He's being held at the Cumberland County Jail.
Windham police are not yet releasing the names of the victims, but tell NEWS CENTER the male is in critical condition at Maine Medical Center with numerous injuries. The woman who was hit is in fair condition.
Windham police continue to investigate.

Geometry is an
interactive program for
creating ruler and compass constructions in euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic
This program has
been created by Carlos Criado-Cambon and Juan-Carlos Criado-Alamo. Universidad
de Malaga (UMA).
For any
comment write to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
program has been created for drawing in euclidean,
and spherical geometries, and
also in the four most popular models of hyperbolic geometry. You can put points, lines,
segments, circles, and analyze distances, angles and triangle areas. You can
move points checking the drag&drop tool. You can see your picture in four
different models at the same time.
The four models of hyperbolic geometry
You can
draw and view simultaneously in these four models:
The 'point' tool
If you want
to plot points you can check this option. Move the mouse over any one of the
models and the help shows you the position. Click over the site where you want
to put the point with the left button.
The points
are the basic option of this program because all the other options need points
to work.
Selecting points
Click over
a point to select it.
Note: -In
spherical geometry and in the hemisphere model in hyperbolic geometry you can
put and select points in the back side by using the right button of the
mouse. You can also change the point of view using the lateral Trackbar. .
The 'drag&drop' tool
You can
move the points with this tool. All the objects associated with the point that
you are moving will be moved too. Check the option and press the mouse over the
point; then, move the mouse while you keep the button tight.
The others tools
Segment tool. Select two points to create the
corresponding segment.
Line tool. Select two points to create the
corresponding line.
Circle tool. Select two points (center and
radius) to create a circle.
Distance tool. Select two points to see the distance
between them.
Angle tool. Select three points to see the
angle ( < 180º ) between them.
Triangle area tool. Select three points to see the
area of the corresponding triangle.

2015 IndyCar Silly Season Page | 2015 F1 Silly Season Page
HRT pulled out at the start of the year, with team boss Colin Kolles chiding the Geneva-based association for being "just a name and not really existing in the real world".
But it was the exits of F1's biggest budget Red Bull and Ferrari that have rocked the foundations of the body, which was set up amid the teams' political battles with Bernie Ecclestone and former FIA president Max Mosley.
"FOTA fulfilled its purpose in the crisis period," Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko said this week, with team boss Christian Horner adding: "In the last 12 months it hasn't quite been clear what was the purpose of FOTA."
Indeed, the group has been at loggerheads over the resource restriction agreement, with accusations Red Bull breached the non-FIA pact and risked being sued by its rivals.
Ferrari is also unhappy with the direction of the cost-cutting, insisting in its explanatory note last Friday that F1 "cannot be the only professional sport where it is practically impossible to do any training".
Ferrari-powered Sauber confirmed its departure this week, and Toro Rosso - using the same Italian engine - has refused to comment so far.
The BBC reports that FOTA may actually have barred the Faenza based team's officials from attending the most recent meetings, ostensibly due to its obvious links with Red Bull and Ferrari.
Those emergency FOTA talks in the last few days have been about the future of the alliance, with Mercedes' Norbert Haug insisting on Tuesday that the association "is absolutely vital".
But it is unclear if some other teams will follow the moves of the newly-confirmed non-FOTA members, with a Lotus spokesman telling the BBC: "A lot of talks are going on but, so far, our team is still a member of FOTA."
A Force India spokesman added: "There are ongoing meetings, so it is premature to comment at this stage."

Miha Puš (2011) Identification of necessary equipment for a private cloud. EngD thesis.
PDF Download (1324Kb) |
The aim of this degree dissertation is presenting the making of a private cloud, which would be destined for educational purposes. It is a type of cloud computing, where one can access the data within the protected system. In principle, it would be intended for creating virtual servers used for the implementation of laboratory exercises. Virtual servers are accessible at anytime and anywhere which would enable the implementation of the exercises also from home, thus eliminating the problems with data processing because of the possibility of adding the necessary resources for each virtual server separately. Each student would get its own user name and password to sign up through a firewall into this private cloud, therefore gaining the access to different servers according to person's study course.

Are you waiting for the Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK to be released that is powered by the new 4th Generation Intel Core 'Haswell' processor? We did a review on the Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK last month and found it to be a very powerful system that was just 4-inches square. In our review of the tiny NUC we informed you that we thought the price would be around $360 for the model with the Intel Core i5-4250U processor and $283 for the Intel NUC Kit D34010WYK with the Intel Core i3-4010U processor. Yesterday we spotted the Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK listed on Amazon for $469.00 from PCsupply for pre-order!
This price is way over the estimated $360 price given to Legit Reviews last month by Intel, so we asked Intel what is going on. They informed us that over the past month that pricing as been revised and the new updated pricing for the Intel NUC Kit D54250WYK is $363. Intel has not officially released the Haswell NUC's yet, so the pricing isn't final just yet and product is not shipping to distributors yet. Intel hopes to begin shipping the new NUC kits next week, so these should be available to purchase this month. The $469 price on Amazon is an example of a company that is jumping the gun and overcharging on the pre-order.
Our advice is wait another 1-2 weeks and get it for around $363, which is the projected suggested retail price.

Hideo Kojima
this wiki
Hideo Kojima (小島 秀夫?) | |
Born | August 24, 1963 (age 51) Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan |
Occupation | Video game designer |
Website | Hideo Kojima's Blog (Japanese) |
Hideo Kojima (小島 秀夫 Kojima Hideo?, born August 24, 1963) is a Japanese video game designer originally employed at Konami. Formerly the vice president of Konami Computer Entertainment Japan,[1] he is currently the head of Kojima Productions. He is the creator and director of a number of successful games, including the Metal Gear series, Snatcher, and Policenauts.
Kojima is consistently named by fans and industry experts alike as being one of the most influential and innovative video game directors and writers of all time, as well as being on many all time director top ten lists. Newsweek named Kojima as one of the top ten people of 2002.[2] In 2008, Next-Gen placed him #7 in their list of "Hot 100 Developer 2008."[3]
Kojima's Metal Gear series contains elements of magic realism and often breaks the fourth wall. He is also well known for a quirky and somewhat irreverent sense of humor, and his frequently disarming and powerful plot twists.
[show]Early life Edit
Born in Setagaya, Tokyo in 1963,[1] Kojima moved to western Japan at the age of three. Kojima has said that early on in his life he often had to deal with death.
When he was little the Kojima family moved to a small city called Shirasaki. Just as quickly, his family soon moved to the Kansai region. Kojima has noted that growing up he was a latchkey kid, often having to watch television and look after himself when he came home from school. Staying at home by himself in isolation still affects him to this day stating, "[whenever] I travel and stay at a hotel I put the TV on as soon as I enter the room, just to deal with the feeling of loneliness."
Initially wanting to be an artist or illustrator, he was often discouraged by societal norms of Japan which favored finding safe and well paying jobs. He was also discouraged because his uncle was also an artist but suffered from financial difficulties.
He eventually started writing short stories and began to send them to Japanese magazines but was never able to get anything published. He cites that his stories were often 400 pages long while most magazines wanted their short stories to be around 100 pages. Eventually he shifted his focus to making films with his friend who had an 8mm camera.
Career Edit
In an interview on G4's TV series, Icons,[4] Kojima describes much of his earlier career and influences for game design. Kojima grew up early in life watching movies with his parents. While studying economics in college, Kojima found himself playing video games during his free time, mainly on the Famicom. Kojima cites Shigeru Miyamoto's Super Mario Bros. (1985) and Yuji Horii's Portopia Serial Murder Case (1983) as his defining influences. In his fourth year in college, Kojima surprised colleagues by announcing his intentions to join the video game industry, despite initially having ambitions of becoming a film director.[5]
1980s Edit
Kojima joined video game publisher Konami's MSX home computer division in 1986 as a designer and planner. Kojima's gameplay ideas were often overlooked initially, and due to his lack of familiarity with programming he was repeatedly snubbed for his failures in his initial years at Konami. At one point, Kojima considered leaving the company, but stuck on.
The first game he worked on was a sequel to Antarctic Adventure, Penguin Adventure, as an assistant director. The first game he actually developed was Lost Warld (sic), a war-themed platform game starring a masked female wrestler, in 1986. However, the game was ultimately cancelled by Kojima's superiors at Konami.
His first released game was Metal Gear. It was released in 1987, to critical success, on the MSX2 home computer. The MSX system was a huge success in Japan, Europe, Brazil and the Soviet Union, but due to its obscurity in the U.S. and some other nations, many people did not play the game until it was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, and even then, the game went through numerous changes during the conversion process with which Kojima was not directly involved. The game featured the debut of Solid Snake. Kojima also released the critically acclaimed Snatcher, a graphic adventure game with a cyberpunk setting and Cold War themes, in 1988.
1990s Edit
In 1990, Kojima released Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX2 in Japan only. The game was critically acclaimed in Japan for its sophisticated gameplay and intricate storyline, as it introduced many significant changes and additions to the Metal Gear series, most of which were later carried over to Metal Gear Solid. Of particular importance was the significantly improved characterization of the game's cast and the bigger emphasis given to the game's storyline, which was advanced through the use of cutscenes and covered themes regarding the effects of war. Other changes include significant enhancements to the enemy soldiers' behavior and AI, the ability to crawl, and the introduction of the radar, among other improvements. Despite the game's success in Japan, it was never officially released in the West until its inclusion in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence in 2006.
In 1992, Kojima remade Snatcher for the PC under title of Snatcher CD-ROMantic which would then be ported to the Sega CD, the game's only official English version. In 1994 he designed Policenauts, a film noir/sci-fi-themed adventure game set in a space colony often regarded as a "spiritual sequel" to Snatcher. Snatcher and Policenauts were both huge successes in Japan. Kojima regards Policenauts as his "most exhaustive piece of work." He often calls Metal Gear a "blockbuster movie series" while he regards Policenauts as his "independent film."
With the release of Metal Gear Solid in 1998 for the PlayStation, Kojima became an international celebrity among gamers. Metal Gear Solid was the first in the Metal Gear series to use 3D graphics and voice acting, which gave a more cinematic experience to the game. Metal Gear Solid was highly regarded for its well-designed gameplay and for its characters and storyline, which featured themes of nuclear proliferation and genetic engineering and is widely considered to be one of the best PlayStation games.
2000s Edit
In early 2000, Kojima released the first details of the sequel to Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, for the PlayStation 2. The game's highly detailed graphics, physics, and expanded gameplay quickly made it one of the most highly anticipated games. The game was highly successful and critically acclaimed at release, due to its graphics, gameplay and storyline, which dealt with myriad philosophical themes as specific as memes, censorship, manipulation, patricide, the inherent flaws of democracy and as grandiose as the nature of reality itself. While Metal Gear Solid 2 broke ground with the breadth of its subject matter, the lengthy exposition of these issues, particularly in the bewildering maze of dialogue and plot revelation in the final hours of the game, left a sour taste in the mouths of many gamers. The game also received negative fan reaction due to the unexpected introduction of Raiden, a rookie soldier, the polar opposite of Solid Snake.
Before Metal Gear Solid 2's release, Kojima produced the game and anime franchise Zone of the Enders in 2001 to moderate success. In 2003, he produced Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand for the Game Boy Advance. Another team inside Konami also began work on Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a Nintendo GameCube remake of Metal Gear Solid with all the gameplay features of Metal Gear Solid 2 and with cutscenes redirected by action/horror film director Ryuhei Kitamura, which was released in 2004.
Afterwards, Kojima designed and released Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PlayStation 2. Unlike the previous games in the series, which took place in the near future and focused on indoor locations, the game is set in a Russian forest area during the year 1964, and involves wilderness survival and camouflaging. Critical response to the game was highly favorable.
At that time Kojima also worked on Boktai's sequel, Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django for the Game Boy Advance, which was released in summer 2004.
Also released was Metal Gear Acid, a new spin on the Metal Gear series, for the PlayStation Portable in 2004 in Japan and 2005 in other countries. Its sequel Metal Gear Acid 2 was released in 2005 in Japan and 2006 in other countries.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops was also released in 2006. It takes places six years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3. Kojima was the producer and general manager for the game.
Kojima wanted Solid Snake to appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but due to development cycle problems Nintendo was unable to add Snake in. When Super Smash Bros. Brawl was announced, series producer Masahiro Sakurai contacted Kojima to work Snake into the game. Kojima also worked on Snake's stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[6]
Kojima co-directed Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots with Shuyo Murata, as well as co-producing and co-writing the game. Kojima also oversaw the entirety of the games production, including the opening movies which were created by Logan, as well as making a cameo appearance in one of them. In addition, he is credited as the "Voice of God" in the game's voice over credits; during the scene in which Psycho Mantis' ghost convulses then disappears, the player can hear Kojima's voice yell, "Silence!", accompanied by an image of Kojima himself via a hidden flashback.
Following Metal Gear Solid 4, Kojima announced three new games in the Metal Gear series at E3 2009. The first game announced was Metal Gear Solid: Rising, a multiplatform game starring Raiden that was supposed to take place between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Rising was later retitled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and developed by Platinum Games. It takes place four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4. The second game announced, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, is set 10 years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3 and stars Big Boss. Peace Walker was released in 2010. The final game announced, Metal Gear Arcade, is a coin-op iteration of Metal Gear Online. It was also released in 2010. He was also involved in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which was released in 2010. Kojima in an interview with Eurogamer in 2009 also admitted that even he was confused with the timeline of the Metal Gear Solid saga, in regards to the creation of prequels.[7]
On June 20, 2012, Kojima officially announced that Metal Gear Solid V was in development and that it would use the Fox Engine. In a Twitter post made Kojima, he revealed that he became a scholar at the University of Southern California. During a lecture hosted by him, he unveiled a new demo of the Fox Engine depicting a man similar to Big Boss and a Stryker in a jungle environment. Regarding the 25th anniversary, he stated that he'd make an announcement relating to the 25th anniversary and his new project on August 30, 2012.[8]
Kojima appears as a Militaires Sans Frontières informant in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, during the Side Op Intel Operative Rescue, which he voices in both the Japanese and English versions of the game.
Kojima has stated that he suffers from 3D Motion Sickness, which is why he could not add new camera angles to Metal Gear Solid 3.
Last Metal Gear game Edit
Kojima has stated multiple times when the latest Metal Gear game was released that it would be the last in the series.[9] He has stated this after the releases of: Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, saying that Metal Gear Solid 4 "is going to the final one for me."[9] He said that ending the Metal Gear series would give him more freedom to pursue other projects in the future and also stated that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be the final game to feature Solid Snake.[9] However, with the announcement of Metal Gear Rising, Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid V, Kojima is once again involved in the Metal Gear series.
Future of Metal Gear Edit
Regarding the Metal Gear series, Kojima stated at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show:
"Solid Snake's storyline has ended with MGS4. But there's still a lot more when it comes to Naked Snake's storyline."
When asked about remaking the original Metal Gear in September 2009, Kojima stated that he was at the time too busy to do it. However, he said that he does not have to be the one to remake it and suggested somebody younger or even a foreign studio unassociated with Kojima Productions could develop it.[10]
He has stated during the development of both comprising parts of Metal Gear Solid V that he intends to follow through with his supposed retirement from the series.[11]
On March 19, 2015, it was reported that due to a fallout between Kojima Productions and Konami, Kojima would most likely leave Konami after The Phantom Pain is released. It was also reported that Kojima Productions was affected by the fallout as well.[12] A day later, Konami and Kojima released a joint statement confirming that development for the game will not be negatively affected by the restructuring within the company.[13] Konami also stated that they will continue to develop more Metal Gear games after The Phanton Pain is released.[13]
Influence from movies Edit
Kojima's love of film is noticeable in his games where he pays homage through his stories and characters.
Examples of influence by films include Solid Snake's codename (named after Snake from Escape from New York)[14] and real name (David Bowman from 2001: A Space Odyssey),[15] Hal "Otacon" Emmerich (HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey),[15] Sniper Wolf shooting Meryl Silverburgh in Metal Gear Solid (Full Metal Jacket),[14] Psycho Mantis (inspired from the film The Fury)[14] and the whole stealth concept for the series (The Great Escape).[14] During TGS 2009's unveiling of Peace Walker, he also compared the opening of Peace Walker to Seven Samurai.[16]

MarijuanaGrowGuide - Growing Marijuana Guide - Soil
Looking for High Quality Cannabis Seeds?
Now you have your seeds, but nowhere to plant them. You need some soil for your marijuana grow.
The soil will be in many respects both the home and the food for your marijuana plant, so it should be taken seriously. Many veteran growers develop their own mixtures of raw soil, nutrients and absorptive material, but when you're starting out, it's best to find some commercial potting soil.
Soil character is specified by the ratio of three elemental components, Nitrogren, Phosphorous and Potassium, usually written N:P:K. Marijuana likes to grow in a soil that is rich in Nitrogen, so find a soil with a higher N value and lower P and K values. A typical good ratio is 20:10:10. The growing requirements of marijuana are nearly identical to growing tomatoes. If you are purchasing growing supplies from a store in which the staff is not knowledgable in cannabis growing, you can ask for advice regarding growing tomatoes to the same effect.
Many people prefer using organic soil for growing marijuana, but as long as it has the appropriate N:P:K ratio, good acidity, and enough plant food to feed the plant for three months, it should work fine. Another ideal characteristic is that the soil protects against over and under watering. Some soil manufacturers include materials that take care of this. While it is still very important to control your watering, this will help provide you with a margin of error.
Advanced Soil Options
For a slightly more advanced choice you can go with a good organic soil medium, and carefully mix in some organic nutrients for a proper growing environment. If you decide to go with this organic soil and nutrient solution for your marijuana grow, make sure you carefully follow the nutrient mixture and watering schedule. Thinking more is always better will result in you burning your plants and possibly compromising your marijuana harvest. The benefits of using this more advanced methods will be in possibly a more robust harvest. The drawbacks are more work and more margin of error.
For an organic soil choice for your grow, FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil simply is the marijuana growers choice. FoxFarm has other quality growing mediums, but they are not always optimum for a cannabis grow. There are many other fine quality growing mediums around. Humboldt Flower Products is also a very fine choice. However they are limited in their supply, and purchasing their products is difficult and slightly more expensive, even online.
On last word on soil is that there are as many recipes for the perfect soil as there are cannabis growers. You can find any number of variations of peat moss, Perlite, vermiculite, bat guano, bone meal, kelp, ash, worm castings and buried dead fish carcasses to write a small novel. The fact is that optimizing your grow soil to this degree is growing way beyond work vs reward ratio. Start out small and basic and then decide to work on highly optimizing your soil in your own small increments.
Advanced Nutrient Options
Now we have our high quality organic soil, we are going to have to also use some high quality organic nutrients added to our watering schedule. Again FoxFarm provides a good choice for high quality nutrients needed for growing marijuana. They have a three step organic based fertilizer and plant food liquid nutrients system. To use these products; simply mix with correct ratio of water and use for your watering cycle in every other plant watering. So have one watering jug filled with clean water, while the other contains the proper nutrients mixture. Each type of nutrient should be added at different ratios during different weeks of the plants development that I have outlined in the chart below. Also be sure when adding nutrients to the water, you never mix any two nutrients together even if they both should be used at the same time. Always add the nutrients to the water separately.

*note1: This chart assumes a long grow cycle. Please adjust accordingly if your cycle differs(ie if you do a 5 week veg cycle, skip week 6 and move right to week one flowing cycle.) |
*note2: This chart differs slightly from FoxFarms guidlines. I feel their cycle is on the high side. Choose whichever one fits your needs best. |
Final note on marijuana grow mediums
There are alternative growing mediums to use. Another popular technique is the hydroponic method of growing marijuana. It involves growing marijuana in a reservoir of water and nutrients. The plant is held in some solid medium while the root system is suspended in the reservoir where it can absorb nutrients. This method tends to be more complicated and more expensive, but because you are able to control the nutrients the plant receives directly, you can end up with a higher quality product.
Now that you have your soil, you will need to get some lighting.

Impact of Recombinant Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB on Bone Regeneration: A Study in Rabbits
Daniel S. Thoma, Dr Med Dent/Ronald E. Jung, PD Dr Med Dent/Patrick Hänseler, MSc ETH/Christoph H.F. Hämmerle, Prof Dr Med Dent/David L. Cochran, DDS, PhD/Franz E. Weber, PD PhD
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.1056
The aim of this study was to test whether recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB) enhances bone regeneration in combination with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules or deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) compared to empty defects and β-TCP granules alone. Four titanium cylinders were placed on the external cortical plates of seven rabbits' calvaria and randomly allocated to one of four groups: (1) empty, (2) β-TCP, (3) β-TCP + rhPDGF-BB, and (4) DBBM + rhPDGF-BB. The mean area of bone regeneration was 13.9% ± 8.4% (empty), 24.0% ± 14.8% (β-TCP), 37.1% ± 8.9% (β-TCP + rhPDGF-BB), and 64.4% ± 5.4% (DBBM + rhPDGF-BB), with the greatest bone regeneration noted for DBBM + rhPDGF-BB (P < .01). The fraction of bone substitute material varied between 48.3% ± 9.3% (DBBM + rhPDGF-BB), 53.1% ± 10.6% (β-TCP + rhPDGF-BB), and 58.0% ± 14.8% (β-TCP). rhPDGF-BB combined with DBBM showed the greatest potential to enhance bone regeneration.

California Prisons
California Prisons to Restrict Pepper Spray, Segregation of Mentally Ill Inmates
By Julie Small
California prison officials proposed major policy changes Friday to curtail when and how correctional staff use pepper spray on mentally ill inmates or segregate them from the general prison population.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) planned to vest mental health clinicians with greater say in whether correctional staff may use force or segregate inmate patients. The agency also set strict time limits on the segregation of mentally ill inmates who had committed no serious violations or crimes in prison.
CDCR proposed these changes to comply with a court order issued by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton. Judge Karlton ordered the changes to California's policies in April, after a lengthy evidentiary hearing. Continue reading

One Hundred and Ninety-Ninth Day:
Friday, 9th August, 1946 [Page 40]
DR. LATERNSER: As my second witness I am going to call Field-
Marshal von Mannstein.
ERICH VON MANNSTEIN, a witness, took the stand and testified
as follows:
Q. Will you state your full name, please?
A. Erich von Mannstein.
Q. Will you repeat this oath after me:
I swear by God, the Almighty and Omniscient, that I will
speak the pure truth and will withhold and add nothing.
(The witness repeated the oath.)
THE PRESIDENT: You may sit down.
Q. Field-Marshal, what was the last position you held?
A. My last appointment was Commander-in-Chief of Army Group
Q. How did you achieve that position?
A. I was given that position in November, 1942, on the
strength of an order from Hitler.
Q. The other Commanders-in-Chief were appointed in a similar
way, were they not?
A. Yes.
Q. For many years you have held important positions in the
General Staff. In which capacity?
A. In the last war I was in the General Staff with Troops.
Then in 1929 I joined the Reichswehr Ministry, and was
appointed to the First Division of the Troops Department.
Q. Was the General Staff an elite, which set the standard in
the armed forces?
[Page 41]
Q. Did the General Staff have authoritative influence on all
military plans? And was it, shall we say, the spiritual
centre of the Army?
A. At its headquarters, that is, in the Reich Ministry for
the Armed Forces, the General Staff in its various
departments did deal with certain general questions as far
as they concerned the leading and employment of troops. On
the other hand, all other matters were in the hands of the
various departments or of the Army Inspectorates. These
offices worked in conjunction with the General Staff and as
far as the material existence of the troops was concerned,
that was dealt with in these departments.
Q. But then surely the General Staff passed an opinion?
A. The General Staff could, of course, express itself on the
questions dealt with by the departments, training and
armament, for instance. But the chiefs of the other
departments were on exactly the same level as the chiefs of
the Troops Department, and important personnel questions, in
particular, were dealt with entirely outside the General
Q. Was the Chief of the General Staff Hitler's adviser, or
was it the Commander-in-Chief of the Army or of the Air
Force, as the case may be? Who was it?
A. One cannot possibly say that the Chief of the General
Staff was Hitler's adviser. The position of Chief of the
General Staff in the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich differed
entirely from the position held by the Chief of the General
Staff at the time of the Kaiser. In those days the Chief of
the General Staff was immediately subordinate to the Kaiser,
that is to say, he could report directly to him.
In the Wehrmacht (armed forces) of the Third Reich on the
other hand, and even of the Weimar Republic, that was
entirely different. The Chief of the General Staff of the
Army, for instance, was nothing more than the adviser of the
Commander-in-Chief of the Army regarding matters of military
leadership. Between him and Hitler there was, first of all,
the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and then, as long as we
had a Minister of War, in the shape of Blomberg, there was
the Reich Minister of War, too. Thus, there was no question
at all of the Chief of the General Staff advising Hitler.
But, as regards advising the Commander-in-Chief of the Army,
he shared his work, in peace time at least, with the chiefs
of the departments, that is to say, the Personnel
Department, the Armament Department and the Defence
Department, who were all on his own level.
Q. Was there a special service channel for the General
A. A special service channel for the General Staff did not
exist. On the contrary, that was strictly tabooed. Towards
the end of the First World War something similar was
developed when Ludendorff in practice had gained control of
military matters and always communicated with the General
Staff Chiefs who were his subordinates instead of addressing
himself to the Commanders-in-Chief themselves. This
deterioration, as I might call it, of military leadership
was radically done away with by Generaloberst von Seeckt and
a special service channel for the General Staff, as is meant
here, therefore, did not exist.
Q. And what about the privilege of recording varying
[Page 42]
Q. Was the OKW, shall we say, the central brain of the armed
A. The OKW, of course, in the form in which it is now being
mentioned, only came into being in 1938 as a working staff
for Hitler. Before that, Blomberg was Reich Minister of War,
and his position was one which dealt with all matters
affecting the armed forces, which he represented to both
State and Party. In his hands, too, was the distribution of
funds for the various branches of the armed forces, and for
rearmament purposes. Gradually, no doubt, Blomberg was
trying to achieve a more outstanding leadership of the armed
forces, but in that connection he soon got into considerable
difficulties, particularly with the OKH, for the reason that
in the opinion of the OKH, Blomberg was too lenient with the
Party. He then attempted himself to establish a sort of
tactical leadership staff which later became the leadership
staff of the Wehrmacht, but that was only in its beginnings.
Then came his dismissal and subsequently the
Wehrmachtfuehrungsstab (Armed Forces Leadership Staff) was
created under Hitler. This is, however, not to be regarded
as a sort of head of the three General Staffs of the armed
forces or as the dome of the structure; it was nothing else
than the practical Leadership Staff of the Fuehrer.
Q. Did the headquarters of the armed forces branches or the
General Staff nevertheless agree with the OKW in their aims?
A. Naturally the three branches of the armed forces were in
agreement with the OKW that the national element should be
kept up. Furthermore, that they were there to uphold the
idea of national honour, of equality, and most of all of
security for Germany, which they considered their task.
Apart from that, one can hardly speak of a unified
determination. As an example I should like to say, for
instance, that the Army had one basic thought, that under no
circumstances could Germany ever again fight a war on two
fronts. The Navy, in my opinion, always had the one leading
thought: never again war with Britain. What Goering, as the
reigning head of the Air Force, wanted personally, I cannot
judge. But I do not suppose that he was interested in
jeopardising the position of the Third Reich and his own
position in another war.
Q. And the OKW?
A. As far as the OKW is concerned, if it had had a will of
its own, it did not, in my opinion, have the opportunity
seriously to bring that will into effect in opposition to
Q. What was the significance of the Schleiffen Club and what
were its aims?
A. The Schlieffen Club was generally speaking a club of
elderly gentlemen who were ex-members of the General Staff.
Apart from that, General Staff officers and subordinates to
leaders of the young Wehrmacht were in it, too. They met
once a year at an annual dinner preceded by a so-called
business meeting, during which the treasurer's report was
read; and that was about the principal business. Then, of
course, the Schlieffen Club had a Council of Honour, which
usually had to occupy itself with settling quarrels between
the older members resulting from Ludendorff's attitude
toward Hindenburg.
We younger ones did not go to those discussions any more;
and apart from that we did not come under this Council of
Honour. Any political or military aims on the part of this
club did not exist. You must not consider it as being a club
where intellectual schooling or training was being carried
out, instead of by the General Staff.
Q. What were the connections between the 129 military
leaders affected and the OKW and the General Staff?
[Page 43]
Q. A little more slowly, Field-Marshal.
A. Only four of them belonged to the OKW: Keitel, Jodl,
Warlimont and Winter; and only the Chiefs of the General
Staffs of the Luftwaffe and the Army belonged to the General
Staff, although they were changed frequently. I think there
are five of each of the Wehrmacht branches. All the others
belonged neither to the General Staff nor to the OKW.
Q. But who else were these military leaders?
A. They were the holders of the highest positions in the
military hierarchy, as they are in every country.
Q. Did not these military leaders, according to their views,
represent an entity with a uniform will?
A. Naturally, as far as the conception of their work was
concerned, they agreed; that is a matter of course. Also
they agreed regarding the view of the necessity of Germany's
being strong because it was surrounded by three neighbours
from whom one might, after all, expect anything. Over and
above that, however, such a uniformity of thought cannot be
spoken of. I want to say that, horizontally considered, the
three branches of the armed forces were on the same level;
and each branch had different military thoughts and aims
which quite often worked against the other. Considered
vertically, these 129 officers must be subdivided according
to the military hierarchy into four steps, shall we say, in
the relation of command to obedience. The highest step was
the Fuehrer and his working staff, the OKW. On that level
there was the entire military and political responsibility
which, according to military principles, can always lie only
in the hands of the highest leader.
The second step consisted of the three Commanders-in-Chief
of the branches of the armed forces. They were responsible
for the military tasks of that branch of the armed forces
which was under their command. There, at that level of
command, they, of course, had entire responsibility. They
were, of course, to a certain extent Hitler's advisers too,
if he asked their advice in military matters.
Step 3, which, in the shape of the 129 officers, only
existed in war, were the Commanders of Army Groups. And then
below that, step 4, the Commanders of Armies. The Commanders
of Army Groups were responsible for the leadership of the
operations which they were to carry out. The same part
responsibility for their armies was in the hands of the Army
Commanders below them, who also exercised territorial
authority in their operational areas. The third and fourth
steps were in no connection, shall we say, as far as ideas
were concerned, with the Fuehrer, because in between there
was the step of the Commanders-in-Chief. They received
orders and had to obey them. As in all phases of military
life the relationship is that of one who gives orders and
one who carries them out.
Q. How could anyone responsible in the way you just
described it, how could he possibly give his opinion on
Hitler's plans?
A. To state one's view about Hitler's plans was quite out of
the question at the third and fourth levels, because they
would only learn of them when they appeared in the shape of
an order. If in individual cases the Commanders-in-Chief
were called to a conference with Hitler, then here again it
was the announcement of a decision already arrived at, which
could not be altered. These Commanders-in-Chief of the armed
forces branches could, of course, when they were previously
asked by Hitler, though I cannot give any instances, state
their views, their opinions. How far they might have
succeeded in that is entirely another question.
Q. Now, did not nearly all these military leaders come from
the General Staff, and was it not for that reason that these
leaders formed an entity.
A. I agree, a certain number of these leaders did come from
the General Staff.
In the case of the Army, the proportion of the 94 Army
officers who are supposed
[Page 44]
Q. So that the conceptions of OKW and General Staff on one
side and these 129 officers on the other were entirely
A. Yes, of course they were quite different. They were
mainly the military leaders, and not the General Staff, and
not the OKW; and you can neither ideally, nor materially,
nor practically, nor theoretically call them one unified
Q. Were certain SS leaders also amongst that group. Was not
the SS the fourth branch of the armed forces?
A. No, it certainly was not a fourth branch of the armed
forces. Quite certainly a large portion of the leaders of
the Waffen SS, and during the war the mass of the Waffen SS
units, wished to be incorporated into the Army. But,
naturally, considering the opposing will of the Fuehrer, and
of Himmler, it was not to be thought of. The units of the
Waffen SS fought during the war very bravely as our comrades
at the front; but they were not the fourth branch of the
armed forces. Quite on the contrary, Himmler prohibited
everything which could have exerted any influence of the
armed forces on the SS. For individual leaders of the SS to
have been incorporated amongst the group must be described
as grotesque, considering Himmler's personality; because if
there ever had been a deadly enemy of the Army, it was
Q. Why do you say Himmler was a deadly enemy of the Army?
A. Without any doubt whatever Himmler wanted his SS to take
the place of the Army; and in my opinion the generals of the
Army were particularly pursued by him with his hatred and
libel. I know about it myself at any rate from an entirely
reliable source: I know that it was very much due to
Himmler's manoeuvres, which included the use of wicked
libel. As far as the other leaders are concerned, I only
know that some of them had formerly been in the Reichswehr
and had been dismissed from it, so that they were not
exactly in favour of us, and did not feel they belonged to
us, that is pretty clear.

Without warning Saturday morning, Scotland Yard picked up four current and former senior Sun journalists and one active police officer in connection with ongoing investigations into alleged exchanges of cash and information between cops and the paper's reporters. Police said the arrests had nothing to do with the investigation into phone hacking by News of the World journalists.
Rupert Murdoch is a surprisingly good tweeter, direct and revealing in his comments, but he is also the head of a media conglomerate, so when he loses his cool and fires off a shot at "[p]iracy leader" Google, it has reverberations beyond the nail salon.

During his first few days on the social network, the mogul promoted "We Bought a Zoo," told Iowans to consider Rick Santorum, praised President Obama ("decision on terrorist detention very courageous - and dead right!") and called education America's "absolute biggest crisis.

The Wall Street Journal got our attention with Thursday's breathless report about Raj Rajaratnam, whom the Murdochian concern dubbed "the face of the biggest trading scandal in a generation," and his newly dispensed prison sentence, "the longest-ever term handed down for an insider case."

Raptors roll over fading 76ers 99-78
Andrea Bargnani scored 24 points and DeMar DeRozan had 18 to lead the Toronto Raptors to their third straight win, 99-78 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
AP Sports Writer
Andrea Bargnani scored 24 points and DeMar DeRozan had 18 to lead the Toronto Raptors to their third straight win, 99-78 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
Back in January, the Sixers thumped Toronto 97-62 en route to a sizzling 20-9 start. Those days are over for the fading franchise. Elton Brand and Jrue Holiday had 20 points in Philadelphia's eighth loss in the last 12 games. The Sixers have lost their grip on first place in the Atlantic Division - and are in danger of losing a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The good times are gone in Philadelphia and the sub-.500 Raptors were the latest team to roll over the Sixers.
Both teams played the night before, but while the Raptors beat Charlotte, the Sixers lost a tough one in Miami.
The Sixers' second-half fade reached a low point in the fourth when they scored only four points in the first 7 minutes of the quarter. They missed 13 straight shots in the fourth and scored only seven points. They scored only 22 points in the second half.
Bargnani's soft mid-range jumper stretched Toronto's lead to 11 points and the Raptors were on their way to their ninth road win this season.
The Raptors had opened up the game on 3s in the third. Alan Anderson snapped a tie game with one to make it 65-62 and Bargnani hit one as part of a rare four-point play for a 73-66 lead. The Raptors took an eight-point lead in the fourth and squashed a Sixers team devoid of the fun and sweet shooting that was so much a part of their mid-winter romp.
Andre Iguodala left Tuesday's game against Miami with a left eye bruise and wore protective goggles in the first half against the Raptors. He was scoreless and ditched them at the break. He wasn't much better without them, scoring six points. He was booed when he fired up an airball late in the fourth.
Igudoala has never really been embraced by the fans and didn't help the relationship when he told Sports Illustrated: "In Philly, it's not about who you are, it's about what you do for us.
"You could be the worst person in the world, but if you score a lot of points or win a championship, you can murder somebody."
Iguodala didn't talk before the game. Coach Doug Collins brushed off the comments.
"With Dre, he's just not a guy who's going to say a lot of warm and fuzzy things," he said. "That's just not what he does."
He didn't do much of anything in the first half. Holiday made his first eight shots for the Sixers, a run that included a 3 to end the first half for a 56-55 lead.
Bargnani scored seven points in third and was aided by a strong effort out of Aaron Gray was enough to give the Raptors and rare winning streak.
Jose Calderon briefly left after Brand accidentally elbowed him in the right eye. Calderon returned with his eye bandaged - and nailed a 3 late in the fourth. He had 12 points and 13 assists. Ed Davis grabbed 14 rebounds.
NOTES: The Sixers are 9-16 after the 20-9 start. ... The Sixers are 8-6 in the second of back-to-backs.

For me my favorite manga would be Yu Yu Hakusho hands down even do Togashi draws like crap he had a great story with a lot of compelling characters and pretty decent fight scenes also the anime solidified itself as a classic among the big names like Dragon Ball z and Rurouni Kenshin and my second pick would have to be One Piece because Oda created by far the greatest pirate manga ever When life gives you lemons use the lemons to squirt lemon juice in the eyes of your enemies. |

Akumetsu It's Violent, It's bloody, It's action packed, has a freaking awesome plot, and one of the most badass characters ever invented in Manga to top it off. I highly recommend it to anyone who's at least 14. It's about this guy named Shou who's got this "superpower" where he can be in more than one place at any time, and still be alive even after dieing. Japan's in a massive financial crisis due to corrupt business men and politicians and he decides to fix it by implemented violent justice and slaughtering them all and then afterwards punishes himself for the crime with suicide.

Gakuen Alice, it was the first i read that wasn't Naruto/Shippuden or Bleach, it has really cute characters that are awesomely drawn, and a good story. Its about a girl who runs away from home to find her best friend who had been chosen to go to this school for extremely smart people, but to find out that its a school where the children who go there have all kinds of different powers, and that her parents who she has never met went there. And my other fav would have to be Tegami Bachi. The start is shows a metting between a Letter Bee (Gauche), who has to deliver a 'Letter', which happens to be an 8 year old boy (Lag). The letter Bees arent aloud to get involved with the 'Letter' no matter what it is, but once he delivered him, they become good friends. When Lag becomes a Letter Bee, he dedicates his time to getting strong so he can go find Gauche who has missing since he delivered Lag. The drawings are amazing, the story line is awesome, the characters are well made, and there are some pretty good fights in it. (sorry i typed too much... v.v) |

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad That got me hooked on slice of life manga and more interested in music related manga. The fact that it followed the characters through several years and how they evolved from a small band that was relatively unknown to one that even travels from Japan to America from gaining popularity. Also, it goes down a realistic path. The band doesn't gain to much success across the sea because of a language barrier but they get through somehow. The only thing that I disliked was the ending. It was abrupt and unsatisfying. I always hope that the mangaka will make a sequel of sorts since it is his most popular manga. |

My favorite manga currently would have to be either FMA or One Piece. Both are very strong stories and I enjoy them very much. |
